Description
The Alchemical Tarot of Marseille is a 78 card deck that reinterprets the French Tarot in Rpbert's style with references to Alchemy and Hermeticism.The cards measure 5′ by 3.25″ with gold edges and a mat finish,
and they come in two part cloth covered box
along with a 48-page book that explains all of the symbolism.
And the pips display divinatory imagery.
Robert M Place's masterful new Tarot of Marseille cleverly relates the traditional Marseille images with Hermetic philosophy and the Alchemical Opus. Each trump displays a quote from the ancient Hermetica (as translated by Walter Scott in 1924), and that these quotes clarify the meaning of the imagery on the card in a way that demonstrates the underlining Hermetic philosophy. The Philosopher’s Stone itself is represented by the World card and the four minor suits are related to the four alchemical elements: Earth to coins, Water to cups, Air to swords, and Fire to staffs.
